The Alternatives (French: Les Alternatifs) was a former French political party aligned with the far left. Founded in 1998 from the merger of the Alternative rouge et verte and a minority faction of the Convention pour une alternative progressiste, it dissolved in 2015, with its majority merging into Ensemble!. The party identified with alter-globalization, with core principles emphasizing solidarity, ecology, feminism, and self-management (autogestion).

The movement combined several political tendencies:

  • Self-management-oriented and alternative left;
  • Anti-bureaucratic currents within the communist movement;
  • Socially grounded ecological activism.

Following its dissolution, a minority formed Alternatives et autogestion, later participating in founding Pour une écologie populaire et sociale.
